This elusive card inspires memories among an earlier generation of hobby show attendees, which saw every "fresh" find of '52 Topps cards immediately scrutinized for Page and Sain variations. Joe Page's portrait dominates the front of this example, but, of course, the reverse of the card is the aspect that really makes the piece special.
